I have asked this in the thread on UK signalling maps but thought I'd ask here. Is there any other country (specifically European) that has publicly available maps and timings? I know it's sad, but I love just sitting watching the trains moving around on the maps, and as I watch a lot of...

I tend to watch a lot of cab ride videos, and on the German ones, I often see yellow V and upside-down V signs, always in close proximity to each other, and for the life of me, I cannot work out what they mean. Can anyone enlighten me please?

I will be going down to Par on a Thursday in July on the 1006 ex Paddington, and returning the following week on the Wednesday on the 1047 (if memory serves right) from Penzance to Paddington. Both journeys will be in first class, and while I'm hoping to have brunch on the way down, and dinner...

No other details I'm afraid.

At Ely awaiting the 0928 to Norwich. Train cancelled due to a 'problem under investigation'. Anyone know whats happened? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Apparently a body has been found on or near the rail line near Thetford. Police have declared it a crime scene. Buses being...

I have just seen a news report on the BBC News website where they want to speed up journey times between Norwich/Ipswich and London. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-24860394 The time saving quoted from Ipswich to London would only be TEN minutes. Is it really worthwhile spending...

Above train was cancelled at Stevenage this morning due to there being no electricity on the train. Fortunately, my friend on that train intended to disembark at Stevenage. What surprised me though is that they let it leave Kings Cross in the first place.

I've just been reading some of this thread:- 'Beeching & beyond Lines that should have been kept open', and I was wondering which lines could realistically be re-opened. I would assume that roads build on the old trackbed could be re-routed, and the odd building or two could be demolished...

Evening. Tomorrow, Sun 24th, myself and a few bus driver colleagues are going to the model railway exhibition at Ally Pally. We're hoping to get a FCC GroupSave ticket, but as there are replacement bus services (no thanks!) between SVG and AAP, would the GroupSave ticket be valid via FPK in...

I have this dream of winning a mega-fortune on the Euro lottery (as I suspect do many others), but if this happened to me, I would like to re-open a closed railway as a tourist/enthusiasts attraction. So. What if...money was (virtually) no object. Which line would you re-open? And why?

On Thursday 27th of September, I will be travelling on the 1200 KGX-INV as far as EDB. I was wondering if there is an easy way of finding out what other trains I will pass, both in the same and opposite directions? Edited to add: What I'm thinking of are train planning graphs. Do such things...

Has anyone on here applied for the 5xSignallers vacancies in Colchester 'box? I did but failed at the first hurdle :( - which was what I was expecting TBH. But I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who does progress further - and hopefully all the way.
